However, without change you have no growth, and who wants to be complacent? Not me. Without change you have no movement forward, and who wants to stay sitting still? Not me.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9
1There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war: and a time for peace.
11He
has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in
the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from
beginning to end.
The part that I never ever remember is that change is God's plan. He's made everything beautiful IN ITS TIME! Wow!! So, even though people leave us, even though things hurt us and make us sad, there is always the knowledge that it will pass. A hard thing for me to realize and remember is that time doesn't stand still. When "bad" things happen to me I feel like I will be in the moment forever. But I'm told that there is a time for everything. That "this too shall pass". I wont stay in that moment forever. Whew! That's a relief. Why cant I remember that in the moment? Why cant I feel that relief then? Maybe cause I rebel against the change so much. I hope I can continue to learn that CHANGE IS GOOD. CHANGE IS OKAY. Its okay for things to happen, people to change, tears to come, loved ones to leave... it will always be made beautiful in its time! It will ALWAYS be made beautiful in its time! Always! Not sometimes but always.
